The Church and the Stage.

Henry Watterson in Courier Journal
The coarse and essentially unchris-
tian assault made by clergyman at
Nashville upon stagc-people and thea
ter-goers, and the unusual and some
what dramatic scene in church which
is provoked, furnish material for sug-
geStive inquiry and speculation. We
may dismiss the motive of the preach
er for his indiscriminate and violent
arraignment as quite apart from the
question. He was doubtless as sim
cere as he was intolerant aud ungen-
tie. 1t is All occasional-hAppily, on
ly ali occasional-infirmity of the pull
pit that it suffers its feelings TO run
away with its reasons and, in its eX-
positions Of immortality, that it loses
sight of the remedy in its detestation
and castigation OF evil-doing. Our
Nashville clergyman seems TO have
been q victim to this overleaning to
virtues side. The Church has every
thing to lose, and nothing to gain,
by such exceSseS. Its power is spirit
ual, not temporal, and, when it puts
itself in opposition TO the habits, Gus
toms and predictions to mankind, 1t
should make sure that il does not
shoot beyond the mark to fall help
less on the other aide.
For good, or for i'll, the theater is
with us to stay. 1t is an integral
part OF our civilization. 1t is inter-
woven with our domestic life mex
tricably; and, as we can not cast it
out, we should do what we can to
elevate and purify ii. II the Church
would exercise q wider and wiser in
fuence, it would give = part of its
energies to this end; for which it
would find, in the emotional nature
of the people of the stage, a soil al
ready prepared, and Singularly soft
and fertile.
The qualities which make = good
Christian are: tender sensibility,
reverential Imagination and child
like belief. Trained in the right direc-
ton. these simple virtues ofthe human
heart unfold themselves TO the noblest
and return q thousand
images of virtue TO every single re-
lection of vice yielded by them.
Upon the stage, the representation
Is rule, seeks now, as at the frat, to
lold the mirror up to nature; and 1t
would be melancholy circumstance
f II were true that tho men and wo-
men, charged with such business,
we're, behind the scenes, a notified
lerd Of wantons. That the irregu-
arlty and gregariouSnesS of stage
life, under the present peripatet-
c system, expose its people to
many miSuses and temptations
> not to be denied but ifthe general
'ublic could be admitted TO closer
md fuller knowledge Of the facts of
he case, it would surprise many, far
more liberal and worldly wise than
he Ns'hvillo clergyman, TO find so
much chastity and honor, and not
lone among the conspicuous and sue
essful, but among the humblest ana
poorest members Of the profession.
Indeed, the stage is too lightly con-
idered by us all. Instead of oppoS-
ug it to no purpose, the eminent of
he clergy should support the efforts 4
